This sketch shows a person standing in a dim room, painting on an easel. The artist’s hands hold a brush, and their body leans slightly forward. A stool sits nearby, with a small table holding a lamp. The walls have carved decorations, and a tall, narrow vase stands in the corner. The artist signed it "Peggy Bacon" in 1931. The lines are sharp and detailed, almost like an etching. Look up *drypoint* next to see how this technique works.
